“Wanna run a RAID on FF14?”, says the Healer.

“RUN A RAID!”, says the Tank.

“I’m on”, says the DPS.

“Heal me! Heal me!!”, says the other DPS.

The entire development team was addicted to FF14 online for the past 2 months. On Friday, 1st of April, our Physical Ranged DPS got a notification on discord: “Ludum Dare 50 Begins in 5 minutes!” The abrupt news totally caught us off guard…

During the development of the game, we struggled to focus on the jam. We had such a hard time holding back the impulse of launching FF14 online and running a raid together.

“Let’s do our dailies. Come on, it will only be an hour.”

“Raid?”

“Raid, maybe?”

We finally got to the point of naming our game, but our ‘guru of naming stuff’ was asleep (the Ranged Physical DPS), the rest of us decided to name our jam entry: “wHat would a game made by warriors Of light look like when they desPerately want to play FFXIV Endwalker ”. BECAUSE WE WANT TO RAID!!!

We incorporated one of the ares in FF14 online, “Ultima Thule” in our game concept. The lonely and wandering astronaut traverses the universe of chess board, while dodging astroids and blackholes with abilities he learned throughout the journey. Just as he gathered enough stars to prove his strength and willpower, the merciless universe showed it true self: INCREASED AOE.

For Our Chinese Players:

“玩FFXIV吗？”：治疗

“一起打本！”：T

“我来啦！”：DPS

“奶我一口！奶我一口！”DPS2

这个游戏的所有设计人员在近两个月内一直沉迷玩FF14，在上周五突然收到一条消息：“ludumdare50开始了！”。这条信息扰乱了我们“正常”的作息…

在制作游戏的过程中，我们一直苦于无法继续玩FF14。经常在这三天的游戏过程中听到此起彼伏的抱怨：“好想玩FF14！”“玩FF14吗？”“做完这个就玩一会儿！”…

这也是我们给游戏取名为“wHat would a game made by warriors Of light look like when they desPerately want to play FFXIV Endwalker ”的原因。

为了缓和玩不到FF14的痛苦，我们在美术和氛围感上参考了FF14的最终地图“Ultima Thule”的设计。

游戏中一个宇航员凄凉地在太空棋牌上漂流，过程中要躲避可能的敌人（行星，星群，黑洞），也可以冒险去获取“小星星”来获得更多的分数，但是最终还是会因为无法躲避生成的敌人而死去…
